The Stochastic Crossing Signals MT4 forex indicator is composed of the Stochastic oscillator and a moving average indicator.
The indicator draws buy and sell signal arrows on the chart based on the crossing of both indicators.
- Green indicator up arrows indicate bullish price action and traders look for buy trade opportunities
- Red indicator down arrows indicate bearish price action and traders look for sell trade opportunities
You can modify both indicator values directly from the indicator’s input tab.
Feel free to experiment with the settings.
The indicator can be applied to any currency pair (majors, cross pairs, exotics) and timeframe of your choice.
It’s highly recommended to trade the Stochastic Crossing Signals indicator in agreement with a longer period trend following forex indicator and trade in the direction of the underlying direction of the trend.
Overall trend up? Only trade buy arrows and ignore the sell arrows.
Overall trend down? Only trade sell arrows and ignore the buy arrows.
